Still light and nimble at 25% heavier compared to its carbon sibling with smaller battery??Yeah, give us an orbea conform.
Every other bike has 85nm, too many whatevers and comes in at 25 kg.....why would anyone build a lighter, leaner, lively bike that needs riders to spin cranks a little faster?
it's quite easy to do yourself. just use ST unlock and you have 85nm no problems.So now with a bigger battery and c 20kg in weight why still stick to a 60nm power output?? It would add no additional weight to up their version of the EP8 to 85nm since it would only be a software change. I dont understand the rationale of this bike. Now if the power output was switchable ( via a phone app) between 60nm and 85nm with range being significantly different between the 2 options..........this bike would be unique.
OK but I do not understand why Orbea could not have have made that a customer option. I am not knocking the bike...actually quite interested...just saying I do not understand the logic compared to the 16kg Orbea. Lets see what Rob identifies.it's quite easy to do yourself. just use ST unlock and you have 85nm no problems.
Look at it another way, its a 20KG ebike with 150mm / 140mm travel, Fox 36 Fork, with a 540Wh battery, that's 60% more powerful than a Levo SL with a much bigger battery, for £6k.Still light and nimble at 25% heavier compared to its carbon sibling with smaller battery??
Add some more puncture resistant tyres and...........
A novel idea for your test on it Rob. You are pretty young and fit...............so also get an OAP to try it outLook at it another way, its a 20KG ebike with 150mm / 140mm travel, Fox 36 Fork, with a 540Wh battery, that's 60% more powerful than a Levo SL with a much bigger battery, for £6k.
The Rise is already a massively popular ebike, and no doubt this Aluminium model will sell out, especially as the entry level sits at £4.5k ish.

afterthought:.............just for clarity there is no comma between "pretty" and "young"A novel idea for your test on it Rob. You are pretty young and fit...............so also get an OAP to try it out
Welds are not polished some people think. They put filler over the welds thats the whole story. Some Occam owner sandblasted his bike and was really dissapoonted when he found out that there is actually just filler over the welds..it's quite easy to do yourself. just use ST unlock and you have 85nm no problems.
btw, those weld looks awesome, almost too pretty to be on a bike in this price range. These bikes will sell out in absolutely no time. It hits all the marks.
What is ST unlock?it's quite easy to do yourself. just use ST unlock and you have 85nm no problems.

Yes 20kg does not 16kg makeSo now with a bigger battery and c 20kg in weight why still stick to a 60nm power output?? It would add no additional weight to up their version of the EP8 to 85nm since it would only be a software change. I dont understand the rationale of this bike. Now if the power output was switchable ( via a phone app) between 60nm and 85nm with range being significantly different between the 2 options..........this bike would be unique.
maybe the RS version of the EP8 is not just different software? Perhaps the actual motor windings are smaller and whilst it is still 250w nominal its max is lower than the 75/85 nm version?With pedals and proper tyres real world will be 21-21.5kg but still very good. On the 85nm thing it may not be quite so simple, people who have reset the nm to 85 via Emax or Stunlocker feel they’re not getting that full power in the real world and in particular that there’s a power drop when running off the battery extender. Obviously this hasn’t been lab checked but there’s enough anecdotal to suggest that there may be some truth in this...Some are hoping that the 540wh mapping might help. If so the derestricters will fancy the H versions...
What does it weigh with pedals? Does it have the tires you would would use in your normal riding?Just arrived at the Studio.

Someone posted an H30 Medium at 45lbs with flat pedals, his own fork, stem and bars. When you say normal riding tires. DHR 2 2.4 WT are only 960g. There not far off the stock Dissector weight or the Rekon at around 880g I believe. We’re talking about 1/4 pound heavier if you run both DHR 2 3c Max Terra tires.What does it weigh with pedals? Does it have the tires you would would use in your normal riding?
